Safeguarding

Stowmarket High School fully recognises the contribution it can make to protect children and support students in school. There are five main elements to how we work:

Ensuring we practise safe recruitment in checking the suitability of staff and volunteers to work with children.

Raising awareness of child protection issues and equipping children with the skills needed to keep them safe.

Developing and then implementing procedures for identifying and reporting cases, or suspected cases, of abuse.

Supporting students who have been abused in accordance with his/her agreed child protection plan.

Establishing a safe environment in which children can learn and develop.
